Lithium-Titanate Oxide (LTO)
Lithium-Titanate Oxide (LTO): material used in the anode of Toshibas
SCiB battery.
The LTO material has a three-dimensional crystal structure. The structure
contains sites for lithium atom inclusion that are roughly the same size as
the atom. Therefore there is virtually no stress or strain involved with the

Safety
Very low risk of fire or explosion from
internal short circuit caused by external
pressure or other factors. Suitable for
applications requiring high levels of
safety and reliability.
2017 | Javier Rodriguez | Landis+Gyr | May 18, 2017 | PUBLIC
Low-Temperature Operation
SCiB exhibits low degradation even
when it is charged and discharged at
-30C. Thus, SCiB can be used for
applications that are exposed to low
temperatures, such as home battery
storage systems and street lamps.

High Input & Output
Supports charging rates up to 8C for
high power demanding applications. Its
C rate is symmetrical and can be
applied to both charge and discharge.
Rapid Charging
SCiB can be charged with large

 Nishi-Sendai Substation
Nishi-Sendai Substation from Tohoku Electric Power Co is located in the west side of
Sendai City, in Miyagi Prefecture in Japan.
The 40MW / 20MWh BESS was installed in order to verify that, by using a large-scale
battery, it is possible to effectively suppress the instability in the power supply
frequency due to variations in renewable energy. It is one of the large-scale battery
demonstration projects of the METI in the fiscal year 2012.
Construction started in November 2013. In operation since February 2015. Operation
will continue for the verification of the project until the end of 2018.

 Results of the Demonstrative Project
The objective of this demonstrative project is to confirm that the
collaborative control between the thermal power plant and the BESS can
effectively suppress the frequency variations due to the fluctuations in the
PV solar and wind plants.
Initial results were presented in CIGRE 2016 Conference (August 21st
to 26th in Paris) with a communication describing the Battery Energy Storage
System at Tohoku EPCos Nishi-Sendai Substation.
During the BESS site acceptance tests the total round-trip efficiency
measured in the interconnection point (33 kV bus bar) was 86,2%, including all
the loses in the PCS, boosting transformers and auxiliary equipment (air
conditioned, etc.)
The collaborative control has demonstrated a good performance to control the
frequency. However, during the whole life of this project (until end of
year 2018) all the different control adjustments will be verified to
determine the optimal fit.
